4/19/15 through 4/25/15

Sunday

The heart that sings the Easter hymn

Is one that walked the road with Him.

The road that leads to Calvary

The road to death upon the tree.

When self is emptied we can see

The joy that love was meant to be.

Then resurrected life we know,

And gifts from Holy Spirit flow.

Monday

Work for the food that satisfies

Not for the latest batch of lies

Not for the flower that fades away

But for the light of endless day.

Tuesday

You gave the martyrs strength to die

While pagans stood and  wondered why

Would one endure such pain and shame

For just the sake of Jesus' name?

But with the martyr's blood that flowed

The greatest power of love You showed

With fortitude their trials endured

Eternal life for them assured.

Wednesday

The bread came down from heaven when

The time had been fulfilled

To do His Father's will and then

With Spirit He infilled

Thursday

Unless the grain falls down and dies

Unless the fool becomes the wise

Unless the proud become the meek

Unless the strong become the weak

No hunger of the soul inside

We'll ever find is satisfied.

No way can famished souls be fed

With just one grain, there is no bread.

Friday

When will the foolish ever know

How will the simple ever grow

If we don't teach by what they see 

Lived out each day by you and me?

Saturday

The Word, my son your daily bread

Make time to ponder in your head

And as you chew on each small part

The Lord will write it on your heart

His words are written for the throng

And never will they steer you wrong

If following our great high priest

You listen well and love the least.
